The concept of reincarnation describes the notion that the soul is reborn into a new form after the death of a being. During this rebirth process, the soul may carry various attributes and emotions, including fears and phobias, which may be transferred to the new being. As a result, some individuals may associate the cause of their phobias with past events or the death of their previous self. However, the etiology of phobias can also be understood from scientific and psychological perspectives, which stands in stark contrast to the belief in reincarnation.

«The Life I Had» presents a comparative analysis of these two perspectives and examines possible causes of phobias in six individuals from the phobia of being stabbed to the phobia of boars.
